The Detroit Pistons have reportedly locked in on Fred VanVleet as a target in July’s free-agency period.

James Edwards III of The Athletic reported Tuesday that the Pistons view VanVleet as someone who can shore up their struggling guard rotation. The Pistons front office is currently deciding whether to begin a full-scale rebuild or field a competitive roster in 2020-21; VanVleet would fit with the latter way of thinking.

Ya his back issues are concerning but looks really good the last couple weeks. He was going to be a top 3 pick before the back injury if college. If he works out the Nugs are going to be scary for a long time. He's basically house money at this point.

yeah he's a true NBA talent thats for certain. as for the raptors trading with the nuggets we should target will barton instead.

Don't think they give Barton away either. He's really important for them. The nuggets do have some interesting guys tho. Torey Craig, Monte Morris & Malik Beasley are probably they guys to look at

Barton's importance is travelling in the opposite direction as porter jr tho, so he's the guy you would suggest they replace for Powell + McCaw and a pick or something. Those other kids are much less proven, but I guess to shake up the locker room I guess you could.
